dear all, running batch jobs on a linux server through the Torque scheduler I grew the suspect that the computing time increases with the number of simultaneous Gretl jobs. Of course, given that many other jobs from other users are in execution all the time this is definitely not a precise statement, but I have a distinct feeling that it is so. The only thing the system manager could think of is a conflict in RAM access (all jobs generate large matrices). Any hints? thanks, Stefano -- ________________________________________________________________________ Stefano Fachin Professore Ordinario di Statistica Economica Dip. di Scienze Statistiche "Sapienza" Università di Roma P.le A.
